~ Remembrance ~

Today is the day

we honor those that have served in war

they are the reason we have the freedoms

we have today

seeing a veteran today

brings a tear to my eye

but they also make my heart proud

we wear a poppy on our lapel

to honor these brave men and women

I wear mine with pride

true north strong and free

Oh Canada

we stand on guard for thee

Remember

Tomorrow is Remembrance Day

it is the day that we honour
the brave men and women
who fought in past wars
and present ones

we pin a poppy
over our hearts
to show respect
and to show we care

Flanders Field in Belgium

so although I will remove my poppy tomorrow
I will continue to honour the veterans
that gave me freedom

I remember learning this poem in school
and reciting it on Remembrance Day:
